Well, over 40,000 people died from radiation sickness over the decades. 140.000 died instantly, the combined number from both cities. There is a team of Japanese and Americans who are still studying and monitoring the effects and levels of radiation. They also keep track of the radiation related deaths. The Japanese made the mistake of rebuilding Nagasaki and Hiroshima soon after the blast. They did not understand you must not do that for at least 50 years. But, I can understand why they did. The island is small and they had something like 100 million people living on that mainland island and the small islands. I can't remember the name of the team doing the radiation studies.
